SHOE FACTORY FIRSTSTARTEDIN 0. S. INYEAR 1782 Firm of Benedicts in One Family Is Dissolved in Spring of 1924. By Times Special NEW YORK, July I.—At the time when American colonists were assisting the English in the French and Indian War, before George Washington had any greater fame than that of a subordinate provincial officer, when the population of all the colonies was less than one-third of the present population of New York City, James Benedict, a Connecticut settler, started a shoe factory on Brushy Ridge at New Canaan. The exact date is not known, but there are ledger entries as far back as 1762. From then until April 26 of this year that shoe business, in some form or other, maintained a continuous existence. During one hundred and sixty-two years It had never been out of the Benedict family. Five Generations It required five generations of them to bridge this extended period, a period that saw seven wars in which America was engaged and marked the development of a people from dependent subjects to a great and independent nation. It is believed to have been the oldest shoe business in America. The spot where James Benedict began to make shoes bv hand is a hill over looking the Norwalk Valley and Long Island Sound. It is now occupied by the residence of a wealthy New York merchant. When T. W. Benedict died In 1908 his son. T. W. Benedict, Jr., took up the succession and continued the business as a retail establishment until this spring, when he decidedly reluctantly to end the long family Iradition and engage In other afTolrs. The passing of "Benedict's Shoe Store” is notable as beieng the end jf the oldest shoe business in America, but it is more interesting in that it marks the extinction of an Industry at New Canaan. Benedict’s ries in the community and “the cord vainers of New Canaan" had a fame (vhirh extended to the limits of transportation. SCENERY IS BEAUTIFUL National Monument Similar lo Garden of Gods In Colorado. DENVER, Colo., July I.—Th Colorado National Monument, near Grtu.d Junction, Colo., is similar to the well-known Garden of the Gods at Colorado Springs, though much larger. It exhibits magnificent examples of erosion, particularly of lof:y monoliths, all highly colored. The monument Includes a part of •he escarpment that rises about a thousand feet above Grand Valley. It is seamed with numerous canyons cutting hack into the formation a few miles. In these canyons and along the escarpment are the hundreds of sandstone monoliths standing out from the main rook like giant sentinels. Numerous caves and passageways honeycomb the region. Many fine springs supply water. In the winter hundreds of deer and antelope cotne down Into the canyons to feed. The monument is a game sanctuary and no hunting is permitted.

Wis.. July L—More than 200,000 p A ony blossoms —$25,000 worth at market prices—were sent by Henry S. Cooper, retired manufacturer, to 18,413 wounded war veterans in Government hospitals on Cooper's birthday. When Cooper wrote to Washington for a list of wounded veterans, explaining his plan, President Coolidge praised the idea. "This is a splendid evidence of your interest in the disabled service man,” the President wrote. A number of years ago Cooper planted thirteen acres In peonies, and his gardens at Dunmovin have become famous. Three times now he has shared his peonies with wounded veterans, first those of his home city, then those of the State, and finally those of the Nation.
GAS MASKS ASKED FOR MAILCLERKS Will Prevent Robberies, Official Says, Timm Washington Bureau, 1322 Mew York Are. WASHINGTON. July I.—Acting Postmaster General John J. Bartlett today opened negotiations with Secretary of War Weeks fop a supply of gas masks for railway mall clerks. Had the thirty-four clerks forced to surrender nearly $3,000,000 in cash and securities to mail bandits near Chicago on June 12 been equipped with such masks, a different story would have been told, Bartlett believes. The Government now has 5,096 postal cars in operation on the various railroads. Bartlett believes It will be a wise move to equip most of them with at least one gas mask, to prevent future hold-ups being successful. Joy-Riding Reported Miss Hiley Adams, 2303 Ashland Ave., rented a garage at 2308 College Ave. When she attempted to start her car today she found that it had an empty tank. Examination, showed the auto had been used.
J. W. DAVIS SHOWS GAIN IN VOID (Continued From Page 1) pared with the last ballot of Monday night. It was no change for Smith. Two more favorite sons went by the boards on the first ballot of today when New Hampshire dropped Governor Brown, for whom they voted Monday, and gave Smith 4, McAdoo 3 and Walsh 1. Mississippi left Pat Harrison and 'switched its twenty votes to Robin son of Arkansas, but that is not the ultimate destination of Mississippi’s strength. It is understood that Arkansas will switch to McAdoo from Robinson, when the McAdoo managers need those votes. Ralston Ixtses Vote On the seventeenth ballot Smith gained 5 votes in Connecticut and 2 in Michigan. McAdoo dropped from 478 to 471*2. Ralston lost the vote he had been receiving from Michigan and dropped to 30. There was little change on the eighteenth and nineteenth ballots. On the nineteenth tmilot Florida broke its unit rule voting and voted ! 1 for McAdoo and 1 for Smith. It had been voting 12 for McAdoo. Today’s Situation \ Today's balloting got under wa; with the general situation something like this 1. McAdoo new has considerable more than a third of the convention vote apparently so tied that he can absolutely prevent the nominati n of Smith. This number is said u be around 366 votes. 2. Smith is striving to establish a die-hard vote amounting to on third of the convention so that ne can assuredly stop McAdoo. Smith s total during today's balloting r expeted to reah 350—beyond whicr It is doubtful how far he can climn 3. John W. Davis, in third place Is in an excellent strategic position He has many second-choice pledges among the delegates, nnd his pop ularity generally Is shown by t!m fact his votes Monday were scat tered through a dozen States. There are two things that rmiv have a very important effect now on the result and both favor the McAdoo opposition. First, McAdoo delegates from the Western States are leaving tine city tonight or tomorrow, and in leaving are compelled to leave their proxies in hands not so eager to name McAdoo. While these proxies can be tied up for a time by McAdoo s friends, it is obvious they can’t be held to him forever. The second fact is the combined psychological affect of the inevitable breaking of the unit rule In some States, and the gallery demonstrations for Smith. Several States now voting solidly for McAdoo under the unit rule may have many delegates for other candidates In their lineup. Once they abandon the unit rule, even the s.lghtest turn to Smith will bring down a din from the galleries, where the god of Smith reigns spreme. Galleries Are Felt
Any one who has sat through a week of this quadrennial hippodrome knows how the delegate basks In the smile of the cheering galleries; how lie dotes on standing on his chair and under the eyes of thousands utter something—anything—that will start a cheer from those 12,000 throats. There are many delegates who would like to make the announcement of a vote that would rock these galleries and perhaps start a swing to one candidate or the other. There in appears to rest the one big chance of a stampede to Smith. Because, therefore, it is necessary first to stop, McAdoo’s continued gains, the Smith forces are trying to absolutely hobble one-third of the delegates. Then theirs will be a waiting game—waiting until a sufficient number of McAdoo men leave town or until the delegates are sufficiently weary to be susceptible to stampede. It Is easy to understand why the Smith people are saying, “there will be no nomination before Thursday evening.” Neither McAdoo nor Smith has reached the peak of his strength/ yet. McAdoo has votes in Arkansas New Hampshire and Virginia at least which he can count on In a pinch. Smith has between sixteen and twenty more votes in the Illinois delegation that Hrennan is sav ing for the psychological moment, and there are additional point*’ of
STATISTICS HOLD mis CAUSE OF HIGHER FARES Public Utilities Pay Out Huge Sums in Claims, Reports Show, By Times Special NEW YORK, July I.—When you pay your nickel and two pennies to ride on a street car, did you ever stop to think that a part of that fare goes to pay for broken legs? Cost of accidents, statitstlcs shoev, is one of the things that tends to keep carfares up. In a recent study of a certain traction company’s accident problems, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company’s policyholders service bureau found that in a year the utility company paid a total ot close to $50,000 in claims. This does not include outstanding suits during the same period of about $22,000 resulting from accidents involving passengers and the general public or additional claims arising from accidents involving the company employes. In the same period, accidents of the latter type resulted in four deaths and caused a loss of 3,753 working days In lay-offs. In connection with the public accidents it was found that 46 per cent were due to collisions with motor vehicles, and 14 per cent were due to collisions with horse-drawn vehicles. Alighting from stationary cars is Just as perilous as boarding them, according to the analysis, but alighting from a moving car is less dangerous than- boarding a moving car.
strength for the New York Governor In Delaware, Maryland and when the unit rule comes off, in Missouri, lowa and Kansas. McAdoo Rise Seen So It should not be surprising to see McAdoo rise as high as 550 votes today, with Smith to 875 —and still no likihood of a choice either way. The situation yields itself easily to consideration of dark horse possibilities McAdoo and his managers declare they see no dark horse. “The virity of Mr. McAdoo was shown through fifteen ballots," Judge Rockwell said. "It can mean only one thing. He will be nomi nated today." In this connection it is persistent iy rumored that if McAdoo secures a majority in the balloting and holds this majority for several ballots he may try to have the convention rules changed to permit the notnina tion by majority instead of by two thirds. There is no confirmation however, of this possibility. The Smith folks are talking strongly but are looking somewhai worried. They insist, however, that Smith is the strongest man in the convention from the standpoint of popular appeal. There is discussion of a ticket, out side these two Heading camps, of John W. Davis and either Smith as a vote getter or some middle westerner for sectional reasons. The contention was filled with ru mors of coups planned by the op posing sides during the day. The floor managers of McAdoo are bent upon throwing early additional strength behind their candidate to offset restiveness developing in some of the delegations that wish •<> split up solid McAdoo votes to sop if some candidate ettn break the jam. On the other hand, anti-McAdoo leaders are working Just as hard to break some of his weaker delega tlons so as to smash the strong front he has presented. Wilbur Marsh Is working hard on the lowa delegation to break the unit rule and turn some Smith votes in the delegation away from McAdoo. The convention was called to order al 10:50 by Chairman Walsh. Bishop Luther B. Wilson of the Metho hst Episcopal Church of New York delivered the invocation.

fn yrISRIDIAN, Texas, July I. liv lOn the word ot a little 7L——l year-old girl Mrs. Nora Bosche Js serving a twenty-year term in prison for murder. The child is Winifred Kellersberger. She and her mother, Mrs. Edna S. Kellersberger, were staying at the home of Philip Bosche, 65, millionaire ranch owner. Bosche was the father of Mrs. Kellersberger. Nora, thirty-five years his junior, was his second wife. Mrs. Kellersberger was shot to death. Mrs. Bosche was arrested. She declared she had killed Mrs. Kellersberger in self-defense, insisting her step-daughter had approached her with a butcher knife. Her defense seemed impregnable, until Winifred was pnt on the stand. “Mother was in the kitchen getting breakfast,” she testified, “when this woman came in and said: ‘I am going to kill you.’ “Mother tried to explain. But the woman fired, hitting her on the hand. “The woman—there she sits—walked into the hall and mother followed, still asking to let her explain. I heard another shot and I found my mother on the floordead. “My mother had no butcher knife.” The jury heard and convicted. The prosecution contended that Mrs. Bosche blamed Mrs. Kellersberger for trouble between the wealthy farmer and Mrs. Bosche.
